Barbaresco 1985Santo Stefano di Nieve Riserva, B. Giacosa
lbsl
Bottle (2)"In keeping with the style of the vintage, the 1985 comes across
as further along the aging curve in its color, flavors and
structure. If offers an irresistible mix of sweet prune and plum
fruit with notes of spices and licorice in a soft, ethereal style,
with notable sweetness and a warmly resonating alcoholic finish."
(97pts Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate In the Cellar #GX, April
2007)

"The 1985 Santo Stefano is an outrageous, decadent wine. It
offers an ethereal, perfumed nose along with layers of dark fruit
in soft, seductive style, closing with a blast of tar on the
finish. The Santo Stefano is the more open of these 1985 Giacosas.
It is an irresistible wine to drink today and I would choose to
drink my remaining bottles over the next five or so years while the
fruit and vibrancy are still present." (97 pts. Antonio Galloni, In
the Cellar, Apr. 2007)
